Hardly anyone is aware of it yet. But the crypto market is getting ready to soar to new all-time highs.</p><p>This might be the last chance for the average investor to make the crazy, life-changing profits the Blockchain Ecosystem is known for.</p><p>Soon, we&#x2019;ll see prices so high, few people today would believe it.</p><p>We&#x2019;re at a crucial inflection point right now.</p><p>The first of the three factors that will lead to a massive crypto boom doesn&#x2019;t even have anything to do with the crypto market directly.</p><p>It has everything to do with the old fiat money system cryptocurrencies are replacing.</p><p>The world&#x2019;s major fiat currencies are about to simultaneously implode over the next three years.</p><p>Here&#x2019;s why.</p><p>The planet is drowning in debt. Government bonds are in a bubble that is about to go poof.</p><p>Between maturing debt and new deficits, the four largest central banks (the US, the EU, Japan and China) need to come up with $34 TRILLION dollars in just the next three years.</p><p>Who is going to buy $34 TRILLION dollars worth of debt in the next three years?</p><p>The answer is nobody.</p><p>This spells unprecedented chaos and opportunity. Read on to find out what&#x2019;s going to happen and how you can profit.</p><p>The US is the largest debtor nation in history. The US national debt has risen by $1.2 billion per hour in the past 19 days. In just the last 3 weeks, US debt has increased by $500 billion.</p><p>The US needs to roll over maturing debt and finance new deficits of over $12 TRILLION until the end of 2026.</p><p>Traditionally, America&#x2019;s largest trading partners such as China and Japan have bought a large amount of this debt.</p><p>But both China and Japan are letting their current US bond holdings mature and are actively selling.</p><p>The Federal Reserve itself is already buying 23% of its own debt. This number is about to go much higher.</p><p>The European Union has a common currency but no common debt market. The EU includes many terminal debtor nations such as Portugal, Italy and Greece. Even the EU&#x2019;s second largest economy, France, is in major trouble.</p><p>Nobody wants to use Euros anymore in international trade. The market share of the Euro has fallen off a cliff over the last couple of years. And to round things out, the European banking sector is on extremely shaky legs with many bank failures on the horizon.</p><p>Never mind the ongoing deindustrialization of Germany, Europe&#x2019;s most important economy.</p><p>Between glaring deficits and maturing debt, the European Central Bank needs to find buyers for $4 trillion worth of Euros over the next three years.</p><p>Who&#x2019;s going to buy this debt?</p><p>Certainly not Japan.</p><p>Japan&#x2019;s debt to GDP currently stands at 263% - the highest of any G7 country.</p><p>Japan has already reached the fiat currency end game.</p><p>It&#x2019;s called Yield Curve Control and it&#x2019;s like chemotherapy for currencies.</p><p>What this means in simple terms is that the Bank of Japan is buying its own currency in unlimited amounts to prevent the total implosion of Japanese Government Bonds.</p><p>Nobody wants that toxic paper anymore.</p><p>The Japanese Central Bank already owns 50% of all Japanese Government Bonds, even over 70% of some issues.</p><p>This means the Yen is already in a death spiral and headed much lower.</p><p>And Japan needs to find buyers for $2.4 TRILLION worth of new bonds to roll over maturing debt and finance its deficit over the next three years.</p><p>So you can count on Japan continuing to sell their US treasuries. Wait, didn&#x2019;t the US need to find buyers not sellers for $12 TRILLION of its bonds?</p><p>We can only hope Japan doesn&#x2019;t sell too quickly, causing a cascading failure of the entire global debt market.</p><p>Good thing their neighbor is doing fine.</p><p>Wait! No. That&#x2019;s China.</p><p>When it comes to national and local debt plus the country&#x2019;s deficit, China will have to issue over $13 TRILLION in bonds over the next three years.</p><p>So where does that leave us?</p><p>Just between these four currencies, $34 TRILLION in new debt will be issued over the next three years without a single buyer in sight.</p><p>This all but guarantees a gigantic money printing orgy of a magnitude never seen before.</p><p>Most likely, all major central banks will print trillions of currency units in concert.</p><p>And holders of cryptocurrency will cheer them on. &#x201C;Make it rain!&#x201D;</p><p>The most advanced and most practical inflation hedge is bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.</p><p>That&#x2019;s why the Blockchain Ecosystem will be the biggest beneficiary of this money printing madness.</p><p>The market capitalization of the entire Blockchain Ecosystem is only $1 TRILLION right now.</p><p>For comparison, there&#x2019;s around $85 TRILLION in fiat money in the world right now.</p><p>All the bitcoin in the world is currently only worth 18% of Apple Inc.</p><p>Globally coordinated currency debasement is factor number one for a crypto super cycle.</p><p>Let&#x2019;s take a look now at the Blockchain Ecosystem itself.</p><p>All technologies are going though an adoption curve that looks like an &#x201C;S&#x201D;.</p><p>We&#x2019;ve been through the early adopter phase and are about to hit the exponential growth part of the curve.</p><p>Roughly speaking, we&#x2019;ll grow from a few hundred million crypto users to 2 billion plus over the next few years.</p><p>Of course, we can only get there if the Blockchain Ecosystem has enough capacity to support all these additional users and plenty of new apps and use cases.</p><p>You&#x2019;ll probably remember the network congestion on Ethereum in 2021 and the crazy high fees that came with it.</p><p>I have personally spent several thousand dollars on transaction fees in 2021 alone.</p><p>We can only reach the masses if there is abundant capacity and transactions are affordable for people, even in poor countries.</p><p>This brings me to the second factor that will lead to a crypto super cycle.</p><p>The infrastructure is finally ready for mass adoption.</p><p>There&#x2019;s an entire new ecosystem of so-called layer 2 networks around the Ethereum mainnet that has multiplied its capacity and reduced fees dramatically.</p><p>Plus, there are many advanced new blockchains that will grow rapidly, gain market share and offer even more capacity and even cheaper transactions.</p><p>But limited capacity wasn&#x2019;t the only big obstacle to mass adoption in the past.</p><p>Using crypto was too complicated.</p><p>Dealing with private keys, seed phrases, gas costs and the like is confusing and intimidating. It created too much friction.</p><p>If we compare this to the early days of computers, it&#x2019;s just like when you had to download and install a driver just to get a printer to work. Today you simply plug in or wirelessly connect to any device and use it right away.</p><p>The same kind of improvements are coming now to the Blockchain Ecosystem.</p><p>We now have keyless wallets. All the complex tech stuff happens in the background. A new user can simply sign up with their email address or with a social media account.</p><p>In other words, the user experience is much more similar to what people are already used to. The crypto world is getting ready for the masses.</p><p>Frictionless onboarding of new users is the third factor that will lead to a crypto super cycle. Many newcomers initially might not even know they are using a blockchain. They are just trying a new app or social network.</p><p>These three factors together will create so much momentum for the crypto market that we&#x2019;ll see prices in the next two to three years that will be shocking to the average investor.</p><p>Now is the time to get positioned for maximum returns.</p><p><a href="https://www.marcowutzer.com/project-serenity/">Watch this video presentation</a> to learn how you can take full advantage of this opportunity.</p><p>If you&#x2019;re a high net worth individual, <a href="mailto:info@secondrenaissance.com">get in touch</a> to learn how we can handle everything for you.</p><p>To sovereignty and serenity,</p><p>Marco Wutzer</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[What Economic Suicide Looks Like And How To Survive]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in the US was the beginning of the end of the sovereign debt super bubble and the fiat currency scam.</p><p>When it comes to the crypto world, the smart move for the US government would be to pass clear and constructive crypto regulation and</p>]]></description><link>https://www.marcowutzer.com/what-economic-suicide-looks-like-and-how-to-survive/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6413f52490f5fe04131e466b</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Marco Wutzer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 17 Mar 2023 05:09:04 GMT</pubDate><media:content url="https://www.marcowutzer.com/content/images/2023/03/ClipDrop-text_to_image_clipdrop-enhance.jpeg" medium="image"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://www.marcowutzer.com/content/images/2023/03/ClipDrop-text_to_image_clipdrop-enhance.jpeg" alt="What Economic Suicide Looks Like And How To Survive"><p>The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in the US was the beginning of the end of the sovereign debt super bubble and the fiat currency scam.</p><p>When it comes to the crypto world, the smart move for the US government would be to pass clear and constructive crypto regulation and support the USDC stablecoin as much as possible for 2 important reasons:</p><p>1. It would prolong the hegemony of the US dollar. A vast new Euro Dollar <br>(= offshore) market would develop as the Global South adopts dollar crypto rails instead of using their vastly inferior local fiat currencies</p><p>2. The parent company of USDC, Circle, is already holding tens of billions of dollars in US treasuries.</p><p>Circle&apos;s business model works like this: Pocket the approximately 5% yield on the bond portfolio, while users of the stablecoin get nothing.</p><p>With the government supporting USDC, Circle would hold an order of magnitude more treasuries, which is ever more important as large players like China look to completely exit their huge treasury positions.</p><p>The US bond market is on extremely shaky legs. Of the $30 trillion in obligations, more than half need to be rolled over within the next 3 years!</p><p>This means not only much higher debt service costs for the US government, but they also need to find buyers for this gigantic mountain of debt.</p><p>In summary, pushing dollar-based stablecoins forward would extend the power of the US dollar and help to stabilize US finances.</p><p>Never mind the fact that crypto is unstoppable and crypto-negative jurisdictions will simply lose relevance over time.</p><p>However, I started this article with an oxymoron. Smart and US government should never be in the same sentence.</p><p>The US hegemony has long passed the point of no return.</p><p>There is no slowly turning around of the ship. This is not how fourth turnings work.</p><p>The titanic is going down.</p><p>Seemingly insane political decisions will continue to be made and US institutions will at first slowly and then all of a sudden collapse.</p><p>Don&apos;t expect what makes sense. Expect the opposite.</p><p>Once you look at the world around you through this lens, everything makes sense.</p><p>The assassination of Signature Bank (an important crypto on/off ramp in the US) in broad daylight is another example of this madness.</p><p>Actions have consequences. Excluding the social consequences and focusing primarily on the financial aspects, this means:</p><p>Over the short and medium term, the US dollar will lose relevance. We&apos;re already seeing this now as the Chinese Yuan made a massive leap forward in international trade during 2022 thanks to the sanctions placed upon Russia.</p><p>As a side note, a new competitor is entering the arena. A Chinese Yuan based stablecoin is in the works.</p><p>Huge, highly complex systems don&apos;t quietly disappear in the night.</p><p>For the rest of this decade, expect unforeseen consequences and rising volatility culminating in panic.</p><p>A total collapse of confidence in the US government is only a matter of time.</p><p>This goes hand in hand with the end of the dollar as the global reserve currency.</p><p>Simultaneously, we&apos;ll see the rise of the Blockchain Ecosystem as the fundamental pillar for global commerce, finance and social media.</p><p>Despite all of this, the dollar is still much stronger than most other fiat currencies.</p><h2 id="the-grim-reaper-is-coming-to-europe">The Grim Reaper Is Coming To Europe</h2><p><br>The European financial system is an even bigger house of cards. I wouldn&apos;t hold any significant amount of money in an EU bank.</p><p>Socrates, a financial AI system with a good track record, is already predicting a death spiral for 2025. There is a directional change in the Euro in 2024 and a panic cycle in 2026.</p><p>In other words, you have until 2024 to get out of the Euro and out of European Banks.</p><p>This is not just a global crisis we are heading towards. It&apos;s a financial paradigm shift and everything is about to change.</p><p>The sooner you understand this and move yourself to the right side of history, the more you will benefit.</p><p>How can you protect yourself and even benefit from this calamity?</p><p>For the modern speculator, cryptocurrencies are the number one tool for financial survival.</p><p>Cryptos will completely protect you from the inflation fire that will obliterate the fiat world. Plus, cryptos give you true sovereignty and you no longer have to depend on the banking system or any other middle men.</p><p>To get started, I recommend <u><a href="https://www.marcowutzer.com/project-serenity/">watching this video</a></u>.</p><p>To sovereignty and serenity,</p><p>Marco Wutzer</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Argentine Bicycle]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Speculation is the art of exploiting distortions in financial markets for profit.</p><p>Most often, such distortions are caused by government intervention in the natural, dynamic system that creates all the wealth on this planet: The free market.</p><p>Today, I want to highlight one example from the history of Argentina.</p><p>In</p>]]></description><link>https://www.marcowutzer.com/the-argentine-bicycle/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">63c370820212b303933a6952</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Marco Wutzer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 15 Jan 2023 03:21:48 GMT</pubDate><media:content url="https://www.marcowutzer.com/content/images/2023/01/Jorge-Rafael-Videla-military-junta.jpg" medium="image"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://www.marcowutzer.com/content/images/2023/01/Jorge-Rafael-Videla-military-junta.jpg" alt="The Argentine Bicycle"><p>Speculation is the art of exploiting distortions in financial markets for profit.</p><p>Most often, such distortions are caused by government intervention in the natural, dynamic system that creates all the wealth on this planet: The free market.</p><p>Today, I want to highlight one example from the history of Argentina.</p><p>In March of 1976, military dictator Jorge Rafael Videla came to power.

And many big players that looked like market leaders, blew up in spectacular fashion.</p><p>Most investors have either left the crypto arena, or are waiting for another leg down. Even among professionals, the consensus is for a slow, gradual recovery.</p><p>&quot;The crypto market needs time to heal and rebuild&quot; - or so they say.</p><p>But that&apos;s not what&apos;s going to happen.</p><p>Here&apos;s why I&apos;m extremely bullish on crypto in 2023.</p><p>It&#x2019;s typical for people to believe recent events will dictate how the future will play out. This behavioral bias emerges from how we rely on our short-term memory to make real-time sense of the world around us.</p><p>This is called recency bias.</p><p>For all of 2022, crypto investors have experienced nothing but collapse after collapse, bankruptcies and even large scale fraud.</p><p>But 2023 will be nothing like 2022.</p><p>Here&apos;s why.</p><p>Like everything else, inflation runs in cycles.</p><p>We are now in a counter-trend rally. It looks like inflation is getting under control and is going to come down.</p><p>But so far, we&apos;ve only seen the opening act.</p><p>The Weimar Republic is famous for its hyperinflation period.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://www.marcowutzer.com/content/images/2023/01/weimar-republic-cash.png" class="kg-image" alt="Are you worried about the future of crypto?" loading="lazy" width="800" height="543" srcset="https://www.marcowutzer.com/content/images/size/w600/2023/01/weimar-republic-cash.png 600w, https://www.marcowutzer.com/content/images/2023/01/weimar-republic-cash.png 800w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p>By the end, the currency was not even worth the paper it was printed on.</p><p>For those that caught on to this inflationary trend early, and bought scarce, hard assets, it could have been a ticket to vast wealth.</p><p>But it wasn&apos;t as easy as it seems. It never is.</p><p>There was huge volatility with extended periods where the market went rapidly the other way, and it looked like inflation might be over.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://www.marcowutzer.com/content/images/2023/01/gold-weimar-hyperinflation.png" class="kg-image" alt="Are you worried about the future of crypto?" loading="lazy" width="600" height="675" srcset="https://www.marcowutzer.com/content/images/2023/01/gold-weimar-hyperinflation.png 600w"></figure><p>Look at those crazy market moves. And you think only crypto is volatile?</p><p>These big movements higher with sharp reversals happened many times.</p><p>That&apos;s why it&apos;s so hard to hold a position long-term in such a scenario.</p><p>Just like with cryptocurrencies RIGHT NOW.</p><p>In the US, we went from sector specific crises (think dotcom crash or subprime housing crisis) to the ultimate fiat currency end game.</p><p>After endless money printing to paper over past crises, the bubble is now in government debt. We&apos;re facing a sovereign debt crisis of epic proportions.</p><p>This means there can be no more &quot;kicking the can down the road&quot; with more debt and inflating a new bubble in a different sector.</p><p>I&#x2018;ve already highlighted how the US government bond market is a <a href="https://www.marcowutzer.com/tick-tick-boom/">ticking time bomb.</a></p><p>Of course, the Fed is acting like a tough guy pretending to continue to raise rates no matter what.</p><p>Just like they repeatedly kept saying that inflation is transitory and you have nothing to worry about.</p><p>Remember this: Politics is simply theater for the slave class.</p><p>It&apos;s only a matter of time until something breaks in the financial market and the Fed is going to flip and turn the printing press into overdrive.</p><p>And all of a sudden, cryptos will be back stronger than ever.</p><p>Cryptos are the only asset class that will 100% isolate and protect you from the collapse of fiat currencies. It&#x2018;s the only parallel system that can give you true sovereignty.</p><p>It will be the only lifeline for everyone, including central banks around the world.</p><p>That&apos;s why the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the central bank of central banks, has just published a framework that will allow central banks to hold cryptocurrencies as part of their reserves.</p><p>In other words, even for central banks, all roads lead to crypto.</p><p>It&apos;s their only chance for survival. (But hopefully we&#x2018;ll flush them down the toilet too and go to a full peer-to-peer financial system.)</p><p>And you think crypto is dead?</p><p>LOL.</p><p>Now is the time to go heavy into crypto. Not just to bank big profits but to <a href="https://www.marcowutzer.com/project-serenity/">grow your entire net worth several times over in record time</a>.</p><p>On the surface, it looks unlikely right now. But those who understand the game know it&apos;s inevitable and in the near future.</p><p>To sovereignty and serenity,</p><p>Marco Wutzer</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[tick... tick...

Through taxation and by issuing debt, typically in the form of treasuries and bonds.</p><p>(There&#x2018;s a third way the government robs from you, the individual: Inflation courtesy of the Federal Reserve - which is neither federal, nor a reserve. It&#x2018;s privately owned by its member banks and there&#x2018;s nothing backing its fiat currency, the dollar. &#x201C;Fiat&#x201C; is a Latin word meaning determination by authority.)</p><p>At $23 trillion, the market for US sovereign debt is one of the largest in the world.</p><p><strong><strong>And it&#x2018;s a ticking time bomb.</strong></strong></p><p>With government bonds there are three main risks to your capital. You have the currency risk. There&#x2019;s default risk because the debtor might go bankrupt. And you&#x2019;ve got market risk. If rates rise, the value of your bonds goes down.</p><p>For a long time you couldn&#x2019;t go wrong holding bonds. Rates were going down (and bond prices going up) for the last 40 years and even went into negative territory.</p><p>This trend clearly has ended and is headed the other way. In fact, interest rates have been going up faster than at any time in the entire history of interest rates, which spans thousands of years.</p><p>Right now, we&#x2018;re in an environment of rising interest rates. <strong><strong>That&#x2018;s why bonds just had their worst year since the 1780s.</strong></strong> And trillions of dollars in value have already evaporated for bond holders.</p><p>As rates go up, so do the government&#x2018;s interest expenses on its debt. The US is now paying almost $800 billion a year and is well on the way towards $1 trillion a year just in interest expenses. This doesn&#x2018;t include paying back even a single cent of the principal.</p><p>Let&#x2018;s face it. <strong><strong>This debt is never going to be paid back</strong></strong>. And that&#x2018;s why it&#x2018;s only a matter of time until the second major bond risk kicks in: Currency risk.</p><p>It&#x2018;s highly unlikely the US government will outright default on its bonds. <strong><strong>The only way out is massive inflation.</strong></strong></p><p>No wonder almost nobody wants to buy US government bonds.</p><p>Liquidity is one important measure of how healthy a market is. And the US bond market is a dead man walking.</p><p>Even small orders of only a few hundred million dollars need to be broken down into smaller chunks and executed over the course of a day.</p><p>The bond market is an accident waiting to happen.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://www.marcowutzer.com/content/images/2022/12/us-bond-market.png" class="kg-image" alt="tick... tick...

Only the irresponsible, the mentally infirm and the insane.</p><p>Another major buyer used to be the Fed. But with Jerome Powell at the helm, the Federal Reserve has been on a tightening course and stopped buying US government bonds.</p><p>So now the US Treasury Department is already talking about buying back some of the most illiquid bonds to avoid a market meltdown.</p><p>A shock to the US bond market is only a matter of time.</p><p>A US bond collapse would have global consequences, ripping through stocks, corporate bonds and currencies.</p><p>And when it hits, the Fed has to step in. Just like in the UK, where the Bank of England stopped its quantitative tightening program to backstop the market.</p><p>The Fed will load the fiat confetti cannon and will shoot dollars into the market by buying US government bonds.</p><p>This will start the inflation cycle all over again and guarantees the final death of the dollar.</p><p>On the other hand, we have cryptocurrencies which offer a guaranteed maximum supply that cannot be manipulated at whim. Plus, cryptos offer true financial sovereignty without corrupt middle men.</p><p><strong><strong>So when the bond bomb goes BOOM, cryptos will shoot to the moon.</strong></strong></p><p><a href="https://www.marcowutzer.com/project-serenity/"><u>This video</u></a> will show you how you can <a href="https://www.marcowutzer.com/project-serenity/"><u>position yourself the right way and multiply your net worth</u></a> in the years ahead.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[And thus spoke the fool... “We have to regulate crypto“]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>The crypto world has no shortage of spectacular fraud cases.</p><p>Most recently there was sociopath Scam Bankman-Fraud&#x2018;s FTX operation that caused billions of dollars of damage to both institutions and retail investors.</p><p>We had the $4 billion ponzi scam OneCoin that added the face of &quot;cryptoqueen&quot;</p>]]></description><link>https://www.marcowutzer.com/and-thus-spoke-the-fool-we-have-to-regulate-crypto/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">63a67af636b2b91405da7c08</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Marco Wutzer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 24 Dec 2022 04:13:05 GMT</pubDate><media:content url="https://www.marcowutzer.com/content/images/2022/12/bitconnect-carlos-meme.png" medium="image"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://www.marcowutzer.com/content/images/2022/12/bitconnect-carlos-meme.png" alt="And thus spoke the fool... &#x201C;We have to regulate crypto&#x201C;"><p>The crypto world has no shortage of spectacular fraud cases.</p><p>Most recently there was sociopath Scam Bankman-Fraud&#x2018;s FTX operation that caused billions of dollars of damage to both institutions and retail investors.</p><p>We had the $4 billion ponzi scam OneCoin that added the face of &quot;cryptoqueen&quot; Ruja Ignatova to the FBI&#x2018;s ten most wanted list.</p><p>Or take crypto fund 3 Arrows Capital.

Sensible reulation is good and inevitable.&#x201C;</p><p>Here is the reality: <strong>No amount of regulation can prevent fraud.</strong></p><p>In fact, regulation is based on a state monopoly of power. This is not only unethical but it enables a more hidden kind of fraud. Instituionalized fraud that is a drag on society and prevents progress.</p><p>It happens through regulatory capture, more commonly known as the revolving door between regulatory agencies and big instiutions. It&#x2018;s using government coercion to hinder competition and prevent the free market from flourishing.</p><p>In the digital realm and in particular in the financial system, only computer code based on decentralized networks can guarantee fair and ethical market operations.</p><p>Code makes this kind of corruption impossible. You can&#x2018;t sweet talk a smart contract. You can&#x2018;t hide your liabilities on a blockchain.</p><p>The rules are being enforced autonomously.</p><p>Perfect rule of law without corrupt middle men.</p><p>The free market will expose you to the consequences of your actions.</p><p>Free markets are adversarial environments, not a land of milk and honey.</p><p>There&#x2018;s no guarantee that there won&#x2018;t be shysters offering products that lead to negative outcomes. Free markets also don&#x2018;t prevent outright scams. In fact, you can always count on them being around.</p><p>A free market means anyone can offer anything. And anyone else is free to accept or decline. It&#x2018;s your own decision, your own responsibility. And just like in heavily regulated legacy markets, there are plenty of bad investments around.</p><p>The very poorly designed mechanics of the Terra Luna token is a good example. I wasn&#x2018;t a fraud, it was just stupid to risk your capital on something designed to end in a death spiral.</p><p>Plenty of people voluntarily participated and suffered the consequences when the thing imploded.</p><p>Smart contracts prevent fraud that is enabled by opaque operations, where you have to trust someone. Where you&#x2018;re unable to verify the true state of things.</p><p>Blockchains operate in a transparent manner with guaranteed outcomes.</p><p>Plus, you retain your sovereignty at all times. You don&#x2018;t need to depend on middle men that might or might not do as they say.</p><p>There is no centralized operator that acts like a black box where you don&#x2018;t know what&#x2018;s happening (like with BlockFi, Nexo, Crypto.com and many others).</p><p>It&#x2018;s a futile endeavour to try to prevent stupidity through regulation.</p><p><strong>You can&#x2018;t regulate stupidity out of existence.</strong> It&#x2018;s very much part of the fabric of space-time in this universe.</p><p>The Blockchain Ecosystem offers a world of equal opportunities. It&#x2018;s decentralized and distributed.</p><p>This has two crucial implications:</p><ol><li>It cannot be regulated. Cry me a river.</li><li>Given enough time, it&#x2018;s rise to dominance over the old, corrupt<br>&#x2003;system based on regulations is <strong><u>inevitable</u></strong>.</li></ol><p>Therefore, the sooner you start accumulating carefully selected cryptos, the richer you will get.</p><p>The sooner people truly become adults and take responsibility for their own actions without looking to outside authorities, the sooner we&#x2018;ll become unshackled from the past.</p><p>Once this happens, reality on this planet will change.</p><p>We&#x2018;ll live in a world of abundance.</p><p>A world full of growth, creativity, rapid progress and endless opportunities.</p><p>And we&#x2018;ll enter the Second Renaissance.</p><p>The Blockchain Ecosystem is our vehicle to get there.</p><p>It could also be <a href="https://www.marcowutzer.com/project-serenity/">your vehicle to multiply your net worth</a> over the next two years.</p><p>To sovereignty and serenity,</p><p>Marco Wutzer</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why we need to follow the Nigerian Way]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Nigeria is probably best known for its prolific scammers.</p><p>The classic Nigerian scam has been around forever.

And, for your crucial help, you will of course be generously rewarded with a few million dollars.</p><p>Hey, it&#x2018;s your lucky day!</p><p>But first, you will need to help with paying for some expenses...</p><p>It&apos;s a very basic &#x201C;advance fee scam&#x201D; and I&apos;m surprised there are people retarded enough to fall for this.

The country also has a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), the e-Naira.</p><p>I have previously written about how CBDCs are basically <a href="https://www.marcowutzer.com/the-truth-about-central-bank-digital-currencies-and-the-future-of-money/">pure evil in the form of money</a>.</p><p>Luckily, when we look at the way Nigerians are treating the e-Naira, it gives me real hope for the future of humanity.</p><p>Because they refuse to use it.</p><p>Only one in 200 people use the e-Naira. Even in the face of discounts and other incentives offered by the government.</p><p>This is not just a case of a low-tech environment with an informal economy.</p><p>They clearly get the sovereignty that can be gained from real cryptocurrencies like bitcoin. More than 76 million Nigerians use cryptos.</p><p>Nigerians truly understand the benefits of a decentralized and distributed financial system.</p><p>The exemplary use of cryptos by our Nigerian friends is creating a local free market with emergent coordination from the bottom up.</p><p>This is the path we need to follow in order to thrive.</p><p>More people on this planet need to follow the Nigerian way.</p><p>There is no shortage of incentives.</p><p>Right now, there are 28 countries that have an inflation rate over 20%.</p><p>And there are 45 countries with 15%+ inflation.</p><p>Apart from the sovereignty aspect, the immediate benefit of protecting your capital from inflation couldn&#x2018;t be more obvious.</p><p>Every day, more and more people are becoming financially literate.</p><p>In Argentina, 33% of the population already buy or sell crypto at least once a month. And in Turkey we already have a majority, with 54% of the people using crypto.</p><p>But back to Nigeria...</p><p>The friendly government is stepping in to gently help the ignorant masses understand the excellence of the e-Naira.</p><p>Cash withdrawals from ATMs have been limited to only $45 per day. And for your convenience, they will only spit out notes worth $0.45 each.</p><p>And weekly cash withdrawals from banks are now limited to the equivalent of $225 for individuals and $1,125 for businesses. Any amount above this limit incurs a fee of 5% and 10% respectively.</p><p>In Nigeria, cash outside the banking system represents a whopping 85% of all money.</p><p>The government is also working on a fiat confetti exchange to remove physical cash from circulation.</p><p>Also, forget about cashing any checks above $112. That&#x2018;s now illegal.</p><p>Hey, it&#x2018;s for your own good.</p><p>How about point-of-sale cash withdrawals in stores?</p><p>Don&apos;t be silly. Let&#x2018;s put a $45 limit on that too.</p><p>There are more restrictions, but I think you get the point.</p><p>It&#x2018;s an all-out war against cash with the aim of forcing people to use the e-Naira.</p><p>It&#x2018;s a government program, so naturally there will be some unintended consequences.</p><p>Namely, the acceleration of the collapse of the Naira and the Nigerian banking system.</p><p>Because the Nigerian government has just supercharged local crypto adoption.</p><p>My astute Nigerian friends will ditch the toilet paper and switch into financial sovereignty mode.</p><p>The Blockchain Ecosystem is about to take over in Nigeria.</p><p>I hope the rest of the world is watching.</p><p>The Nigerians are truly showing us the path to the future, to a Second Renaissance without financial tyranny.</p><p>This is the way.</p><p>And if you want to do the same and make a lot of money in the process, <a href="https://www.marcowutzer.com/project-serenity/">watch this video</a>.</p><p>To sovereignty and serenity,</p><p>Marco Wutzer</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[What The FTX Meltdown Means For The Future And How You Can Profit From This Situation]]></title><description><![CDATA[<figure class="kg-card kg-embed-card"><iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HkQ2qLBc09Y?start=110&amp;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer;

In other words, global debt has almost doubled in the last 3 years.)</p><p>I think it&#x2018;s very clear we&#x2018;re coming to the end of the age of fiat currencies.</p><p>And it&#x2018;s obvious what that means for hard assets and cryptos.</p><p>Next, we have all of the world&#x2018;s real estate.

The notional value of derivatives is much higher than the market value due leverage.</p><p>Globally it stands somewhere between $600 trillion and $1 quadrillion.</p><p>At $1 quadrillion that&#x2018;s equal to 15,105 times the world&#x2018;s silver, 117 times the wealth of all the world&#x2018;s billionaires, or 3.5 times the value of all the world&#x2018;s real estate.</p><p><strong><strong>Your Opportunity: Front Running A Quadrillion Dollars</strong></strong></p><p>Derivatives might be the biggest opportunity within the Blockchain Ecosystem right now.</p><p>Imagine owning part of a protocol that will eventually control trillions of dollars worth of value.</p><p>That&#x2018;s exactly the opportunity you have today.</p><p>In my exclusive research service <em>Project Serenity</em> we&apos;re analyzing the best projects in the sector and position ourselves for incredible gains.</p><p><a href="https://www.marcowutzer.com/project-serenity/"><strong>Join us today</strong></a>.</p><p>Simple to use, fully permissionless derivatives protocols that give access to leverage for everyone will explode during this coming bull market and have a decade of almost unbelievable growth ahead of themselves.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Controversial Discussion About The State Of The World, Freedom Oriented Communities And A Deep Dive Into Crypto]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>You know what&apos;s interesting about common sense?</p><p>How controversial it has become to state obvious facts.</p><p>Recently, I appeared as a guest on Doug Casey&apos;s Take.</p><p>We discussed the cyclical nature of our world, what&apos;s going on with politics, travel, and how to keep</p>]]></description><link>https://www.marcowutzer.com/controversial-discussion-the-state-of-the-world-freedom-oriented-communities-crypto-deep-dive/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">639940e036b2b91405da7a88</guid><category><![CDATA[Import 2022-12-14 03:19]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Marco Wutzer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 29 Dec 2020 00:22:02 GMT</pubDate><media:content url="https://www.marcowutzer.com/content/images/2020/12/tv-propaganda.jpeg" medium="image"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://www.marcowutzer.com/content/images/2020/12/tv-propaganda.jpeg" alt="A Controversial Discussion About The State Of The World, Freedom Oriented Communities And A Deep Dive Into Crypto"><p>You know what&apos;s interesting about common sense?</p><p>How controversial it has become to state obvious facts.</p><p>Recently, I appeared as a guest on Doug Casey&apos;s Take.</p><p>We discussed the cyclical nature of our world, what&apos;s going on with politics, travel, and how to keep your sanity in an insane world.</p><p>Of course we also did a deep dive into crypto, how the financial system is changing and how to take advantage of those opportunities.</p><p>Enjoy!</p><figure class="kg-card kg-embed-card"><iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PArKI178uwo?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></figure><p>The shift of the world&#x2018;s assets from the legacy financial system into the Blockchain Ecosystem is the biggest shift of wealth in human history.</p><p>Learn how to take advantage of this massive opportunity:</p><!--kg-card-begin: html--><div align="center">
